1923 Ford Model T roadster pick-up :cool:

It's fun to drive, but it needs a rebuild and starts pretty hard, so I haven't driven it in about 3 years... I don't have room for it at home, so it's not convenient to take out anyway. I really just need to dedicate a day to getting it out again, cleaning it up, and taking it for a drive.

For many years used to be into the tri-fives. Brought this one back from CA and was one of our better ones that we restored. Took it to Classic International Chevy show years ago and received awards in Stock class (996 out of 1000 points). Rare Coronado Yellow color....most yellow 57's are Colonial Creme.


Like probably some others on this board, have owned a variety of different Chevrolets over the years and headed to the next new one soon I suspect.

Yep I have my Grandfathers 1954 Chevrolet Belair Sport Coupe. It's a one owner with 166,000 miles

I have my 1932 ford 3 window coupe that was my first hotrod. I bought it in 1974 when I was a kid. And a few others, too.

I'm in the middle of a custom 1950 Buick project. It'll include a hopped-up Straight 8 and a chopped top (not easy on a fastback...).

I always wanted a 'kustom' since I saw my first chopped Merc. This one won't be fast (by my own definition), but it'll be a lot of fun, comfy, and really different.

I started with a cherry 32K mile original car. It should be really nice when I get done with it. Wide whites, steelies, skirts, '53 side trim, '54 headlight rings, Smitty's muffs, flamethrowers, etc. Really straight and jet black, of course...

After I finish the '50 Buick and my '65 LeMans road racer projects, I'm jumping into a chopped Model A Sedan I've been dreaming about forever. It'll have a 409-based engine with a bunch of carbs, and a stickshift trans. Gotta have cheater slicks on that one...

I'll have to sell one of 'em though. I want one cool hot rod, custom, and muscle car to attain my personal automotive nirvana. Then I'll just drive the wheels off them all...

UGLY, cold (R12) under dash air cond.
NO BODY on the Interstate intimidates my "heavy metal" rustbucket! :thumbsup:

Just purchased a '68 Mustang hardtop. Thought it was a '67 but found out different. Originally a 289 2V automatic car. GT hood with it.
Gonna paint and put it back together myself in the garage. It will be for the wife.
Paid $500.00 for it. Eagle Alloys mags on it. (bought the wheels and got the car free :hurray: )
Very little body work needing done. Stripped and in primer but I got most everything to put it back together.
It was definitely a steal or gift whichever way you look at it.
Previously owned a 65 Mustang 2+2, 69 Mustang Mach I 428CJ, 71 Cyclone 429, 73 Cutlass 442, 79 Trans Am, '64 Malibu SS clone......bought most cheap and sold cheap when I was younger.

I've been a GM guy all my life but last sept I picked up something a bit different for me this time around. I got a good deal on a really solid 65 Barracuda. It came with a ton of extra parts and all I have to do is put it back together. A few things that didn't come with it was a motor and the trans it had was an old ball and trunion type that I didn't want to use, so last monday I picked up a good running 318/904 combo for a really good price to get it up and going til I can afford to drop a 360 in it. It'll be satin black with some red on it here and there, kinda going for a black widow theme with it for now.


The day I got it home

I hope to have it on the road by next summer. Still need a windshield for it and a couple of other odd and ends but not much now.
